ZoomZoom Great feedback, thanks!
Dragonsoul Knight was kind of a pet card choice. It's a big mana investment, and it definitely eats removal all the time, but that one time in a hundred that it works, it really works. I'm not sure what to switch it out for, so if you have a suggestion for something more reliable, let me know.
The sideboard was for a specific meta in my group, and it's completely out of date. Moment's Peace went in mostly as Goblin deterrent, buying a couple of free turns in the midgame. Along the same lines, Innocent Blood was for a low-creature Bogles-style deck. Weather the Storm's better than Rest for the Weary, but that's what I had on hand at the time.
Lightning Bolt vs. Cast Down, I would have to tweak the mana base for, but definitely an option worth trying. I'm a little hesitant to cut 1-mana cards for 2-mana cards, but I'll see how it goes.
Thraben Charm and Cast into the Fire will find a home somewhere in here.

Nice to see another Snow Domain list :) the control aspects look neat, though I wonder if Cast Down would be better over Lightning Bolt.
I think that getting to hit with Dragonsoul Knight is awesome! Though it takes 5 mana to make it a 7/5, and it is really vulnerable to removal.
Some thoughts on the sideboard:
- Was Hydroblast a deliberate decision vs mono-red? Otherwise I would think that Pyroblast might be a better choice since its the best counter to those pesky blue spells and permanents.
- Innocent Blood is cool! Though it's not easy if you need to get rid of a particular creature when the opponent has 2+ creatures
- I'm curious on your thoughts for Rest for the Weary vs Weather the Storm. Rest's floor is 4, and caps at 8, whereas Weather's floor is 6 (since you'll always cast it when at least one spell was cast before it) and its ceiling is storm.
- Moment's Peace *list* is neat -- how often does it get you through to the mid-lat game?
The deck should probably run Thraben Charm -- it's graveyard hate with some versatility. Possibly also some exile-based artifact hate like Cast into the Fire (to hit the MH2 indestructible artifact lands).

Since your focus is tokens, how about Prince Imrahil the Fair?

I initially thought that it was weird that WotC decided that black should be the tertiary colour for being able to deal with enchantments because I thought that blue was in that position with theft effects. After thinking about it for a second though, I remembered that black always had a way of dealing with enchantments through discard effects. Black's limit was that it had to deal with enchantments before they hit the board with cards like Thoughtseize and Duress, it's just that those cards can hit so many other targets beyond enchantments that it slipped my mind they they counted as black enchantment removal (more like proactive counterspells).
It has been a part of black's mechanics that it has been able to infringe on the other colours' mechanical spaces a bit as long as additional costs in the form of life or sacrificed creatures are paid. I think that's why I'm ok with targeted enchantment removal cards like Feed the Swarm. The spell is sorcery speed and saps the caster's life to give black a 2 mana spell that deals with enchantments. Compare that to cards like Thraben Charm and Heritage Reclamation, which give more options with no downside while being instants, and I think that even with targeted enchantment removal it's still pretty clear that black is third rate in providing enchantment removal options.
Again though, Withering Torment is kind of pushing it. Maybe black shouldn't be allowed access to instant speed enchantment removal without having it jump through hoops like finding a way to reanimate a creature like Ghastly Death Tyrant at instant speed?
